Hi, I’m Lionel, and I’m thrilled to be your local host in the heart of Brussels! One of the things I love most about Brussels is its vibrant events, like the enchanting Christmas market that lights up the city during the festive season, or the traditional folkloric events like the Meyboom and the Ommegang that bring our rich heritage to life. When I’m not soaking in the festive atmosphere, you’ll find me exploring Brussels’ diverse food scene. The city center is a treasure trove of culinary delights, and I love nothing more than trying out different kinds of food. If you’re a fan of chocolate or beer, you’re in for a treat! Brussels is famous for both, and I’m well-versed in where to find the best chocolate shops and the most delightful beers to taste. Whether you’re here to delve into the city’s history, savor its culinary delights, or experience its unique traditions, I’m here to ensure you have an unforgettable time in Brussels. Let’s explore this amazing city together!
